Definitions
- the field of this disclosure relates generally to collapsible chairs, and more particularly, to collapsible chairs having a removable, cushioned seat pad.
- collapsible chairs are popular because they can be readily folded, transported, and stored. Such features enable collapsible chairs to be transported and used during outdoor recreational activities, such as sporting events, concerts, etc. Spectators at such events often use collapsible chairs while engaging in social activities in a venue's parking areas (such as “tailgating”) before and/or after the event.
- At least some known collapsible chairs include a frame that is selectively moveable between a collapsed or folded configuration when the chair is not in use and an extended configuration during use. Such collapsible chairs are significantly large when in use (i.e., in its extended configuration) as compared to its collapsed configuration. Many venues do not allow spectators to bring in such collapsible chairs because seating is often provided.
- Bleacher-type seating is provided at many venues for spectators of sporting events, concerts, etc. While bleacher-type seating can provide simple, convenient seating for a large number of spectators, it does not generally provide comfortable seating. To improve the comfort of bleacher-type seating, spectators sometimes bring their own portable seats or cushions. A spectator who chooses to participate in tailgating activities and who chooses to use his or her own portable cushion in the venue is required to bring two of their own devices to the event, which requires additional storage room in a vehicle. Therefore, there is a need to provide convenient, portable, and comfortable seating for the spectator both inside and outside of the venue.
- a collapsible chair generally comprises a frame selectively moveable between a collapsed configuration of the chair and an extended configuration of the chair.
- the chair also includes a seat that is coupled to the frame.
- the seat includes a first material layer and a second material layer, the first layer and the second layer cooperatively defining a seat pocket.
- a seat pad is selectively moveable between a stored configuration, wherein the seat pad is located in the seat pocket, and a portable configuration, wherein the seat pad is removed from the seat pocket and usable as a portable seat pad.
- a method of using a collapsible chair having a removable seat pad generally comprises moving a frame from a collapsed configuration of the chair to an extended configuration of the chair.
- a seat is coupled to the frame and defines a seat pocket configured to receive a seat pad.
- the method also includes moving the seat pad between a stored configuration wherein the seat pad is located in the seat pocket and a portable configuration wherein the seat pad is removed from the seat pocket to provide a user a portable seat pad.

- FIG. 7 is a perspective of the collapsible chair of FIG. 1 showing the seat pad of FIG. 4 and the heating/cooling element of FIG. 6 removed from the chair.
- FIGS. 1-7 one suitable embodiment of a collapsible chair is designated in its entirety by reference number 10 . While FIGS. 1-7 illustrate an exemplary collapsible chair, generally referred to as a captain's chair, it is understood that the removable, cushioned seat pad systems and methods described herein are not limited to any one particular type of collapsible chair. One of ordinary skill in the art should appreciate that the removable, cushioned seat pad systems and methods described herein may be used with any suitable collapsible chair, including a collapsible quad chair.
- the collapsible chair 10 includes a frame 12 selectively moveable between an extended, use configuration 14 , as seen in FIG. 1 , and a collapsed, stored configuration 16 , as seen in FIG. 2 .
- the frame 12 In the extended configuration 14 , the frame 12 extends a width 18 .
- the frame 12 may be folded, for example, to form the collapsed configuration 16 such that the width 18 of the frame 12 is substantially decreased and the collapsible chair 10 may be stored in, for example, a closet or a trunk of a car.
- the frame 12 can be moved from the collapsed configuration 16 to the extended configuration 14 wherein the width 18 of the frame 12 is substantially increased and a user may sit on the collapsible chair 10 .
- the frame 12 may be made from plastic, metal (e.g., steel, aluminum, etc.), or any suitable material that enables the collapsible chair 10 to function as described herein.
- the frame 12 includes a plurality of connecting structures 20 coupled between a pair of outer frames 22 .
- a seat 24 , a back support 26 , and a foot support 28 are coupled to the frame 12 .
